Possible Causes

Ice clumped together, Ice frozen in chute, Broken auger or drive coupling, Stripped auger motor shaft

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before reaching into the ice bin or chute.

  • Remove ice bin: Pull out the bin and inspect for large clumps of ice. Empty and rinse with warm water, then dry thoroughly.
  • Check auger and blades: Ensure the auger turns freely by hand and that blades are not bent or broken.
  • Inspect drive coupling: Look at the coupling between the motor and bin; if stripped or cracked, replace the coupling or bin assembly.
  • Clear chute: Check the dispenser chute for ice buildup and clear with warm water and a towel.
